MTG Salvation

Quote from Link

For some reason I thought this was known info.

They hadn't come right out and said it was in, but between there being a card named Nessian Asp, and the Planeswalker's Guide saying that "coursers" are one of the castes of centaurs on Theros, I think a lot of people figured it out. I know I was assuming it was in.

So much for that guy maybe being GU.
Oh well.
This loses whatever appeal it had without the full art,
but I guess that wouldn't work here, now would it?

Kind of a meh reprint, especially since it couldn't be a full-art vanilla (wish they would make this a staple of vanilla creatures in all sets!), but filler is filler.
On the bright side, maybe I can put him in a standard deck somehow and play my future sight ones. Will at least try. Maybe Prophet of Kruphix can pick up the slack

Quote from 9909

The Theliad, eh? Thelias poiesis, poem of Thelias?

Well done, Creative.

I was expecting "dies to removal".

Perhaps this does not die to removal, because it isn't worth removal?


Nothing outstanding here, but it's not too bad and has its uses as a solid Limited 3-drop.

For a second I read that as "poem of Thalia"...

Thalia, Guardian of Theros

Well, obviously it's not that but we do get something nice for Limited + nice flavor.

MaRo, you trolling little bastard!

Now you did you do that?

I would have thought that with the Creative brains trust, there would be a full command of Latin. (Iliad, after all, is from Latin.) However, it appears that that is not the case.


Looking at the art, while I think I prefer this one over the FUT one, this is sort of amateur hour or more suitable for cartoons or comics.

Now the Karador speculation goes nuts....

If anyone is wondering Karador is Nessian....

...supposedly. He also clearly has an elf in his art, so one of those facts has to be retconned.

so much for that Future Sight card

Quote from Remillo

He's Baaaaaack

and he's got a new trick

Because Centaur Courser was such a fan favorite that we needed another one.

Strictly better than Gorilla Warrior. I'm disgusted at this blatant power creep.

Yay fair limited cards!

The only part of this card I care about are the words "The Theriad". I'm vorthosing all over right now.

Quote from .Rai

GAH. Why must there be an elf in Karador's art? We could go all Nessian crazy.

Planeswalker Elf for Theros confirmed.

I have to say it's amazing how well people take a 3/3 for 3, but die over themselves complaining about how we only get a 3/3 for 3 on another card, with an ability, just because it's rare?

...Ppl.

This is boring. I was hoping for Daybreak Coronet. There is really no point to this without the full art.

woo...

At least it's not an uncommon or a rare.

Standard playable. It kills boros reckoner and pretty much all 0 through 3 drops in standard. One of the most efficient creatures right now, and it isnt even color heavy. 10/10 would play

Blatantly overpowered; cards like this at common mean that green is going to get really efficient creatures and will be hard to kill in Limited.

They should put creatures like this at uncommon at least, preferably rare. Watchwolf was uncommon and cost GW - this is even easier to cast and more splashable, so it should be rare.

I can't tell the trolls from the legitimate opinions. 3/3 for 3 is good. Nuff said.

Poe's Law strikes again!

Seems amazing. It's basically a Centaur healer, which saw plenty of play, but it doesn't die to renounce the guilds and can block Soldier of the Pantheon.
